We are rebuilding

We are still rising

We are equal

In all of the cultures and the doubtfulness people stand before man

It may always be this way, but we pray for change instead of seeking it out

Together made victorious a vicious way of showing our jealousy and showing our true fate

You may be one step down, but you are one step closer

If all that matters is where you are then what about where you can be

You say it is all for men; the culture, colors, characters, and conditions

If that were to be true you would not be here right now in front of a crowd

If harm was not wished for everyone then there would be no harm

If harmony was seeked upon all harmony would fill up nation as one

True we should put our differences aside, but with everyone finding something so terrible about everyone how can that be seen.

It is the past that we have been through and what we want to see in the future, but still no change

The hill we are climbing is not steep it is small

The hill being climbed needs to be shaped

The hill we are climbing is not big enough

We need challenge and encouragement from everyone mainly ourselves to see the differences and wish it upon ourselves

“History has its eyes on us”, but does anyone care?

The history we see is what we want different in our future still people argue about pigment of skin and discrimination

The history of race is now being turned backwards as it is being used against the people 

History of democracy killing the country, but never can it be defeated

This is the era of hope

The era of caring more

The era of recreation

The era we need to try harder to work through differences

So that not only skinny black woman raised by only their mothers can make it high, but woman anywhere raised by single mothers and single fathers can 

So that we do not have to be talking about each other as if we deserve it and talk about it as if we earned it

We try to rebuild in the wrong ways 

We rise from the wrong adrenaline 

And every “nook” of our country you see

Every corner you turn to see daylight

Every night light you see 

That is the hope, but people are to sensitive and diverse to hope for change for everyone and only wish it upon themselves

We will fight and recover 

We will step out of the darkness together

We will be brave enough to see it, but will never be brave enough to be it.
